The first two months of 2019 have been fruitful for Perodua, as the national carmaker managed to deliver nearly 37,400 vehicles, which represents a 7.3% year-on-year increase from the corresponding period last year (34,800 units).
“The heightened sales performance is a result of our efforts to further improve our delivery times. While we defer to the Malaysian Automotive Association’s numbers, we estimate our year-to-date market share to stand at 41%,” said Datuk Dr Zahari Husin, managing director at Perodua Sales.
According to the company, 15,000 Myvis, 10,100 Axias, 5,900 Bezzas, 3,600 Aruz and 2,700 Alzas were sold from January to February this year. Production during this period also saw an increase of 6.2% to 36,500 units, from 34,375 units in the same period last year.
Zahari also stated that its newest model, the Aruz, notched up over 13,000 bookings since its launch debut in January, with the AV variant accounting for 85% of bookings (remainder goes to the X).
“We have adjusted our production to reduce the waiting time for the Aruz. This will continue in March as well. We are thankful for your support and your patience, and look forward to serving you for many years to come,” said Zahari.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express a generally positive sentiment towards Perodua's sales success, highlighting the high booking numbers and strong customer demand for the Aruz, driven by its affordability and practicality. Many commenters compare it favorably against competitors like Proton X70, emphasizing that price and reliability are key factors for Malaysian buyers. Some critics mention the perceived lack of power and quality concerns but acknowledge that Aruz's affordability and reliability make it appealing to the middle class. There is also mention of sales figures being a testament to its popularity, with frequent references to its positioning as an accessible, budget-friendly option. Off-topic debates about brand comparisons, corporate ownership, and quality issues are present but do not overshadow the overall admiration for Perodua’s sales performance.
